Chapter 89 - 89 : The Mysterious Man (2/2)

Some of the materials were present in Zodiak's storage but some were not which made him give up on that idea.

Thinking about Alchemy, Arthur also had that mysterious Soul Flame, which was a grey flame, it was not harmful and apparently, it could only be used to refine and make pills.

”We'll take all the stock of these pills too”

Lucy was the one said that, in desperate fights, especially versus strong opponents, such pills are needed to recover some of their Nether Energy.

Nether Energy was not like Stamina and it was certainly not endless, it also depleted faster than Mana so Lucy didn't hesitate over buying these.

”A-all of them?”

Kara was taken aback as some people would take a stock of 10 or even 50 but not the whole stock! It was quite wasteful!

Even if they needed such pills for fights, it was crazy to buy them all. One pill would be more than enough to allow them to recover in a fight, it's not like they are going to war to buy them all.

Albeit her surprise, Kara went to the reception desk at the third floor and talked with another attendant.

The other attendant remained calm despite what was told to her, she was working on this floor for ages so seeing a couple who was willing to buy the whole stock is not surprising.

Compared to her, Kara was still shocked, she didn't come to the third floor very often, in fact, it was only her second time here as she was not allowed to come here, she was only able to come because she 'became' the customer's personal attendant.

There was a rule in this Treasure Pavillon and it stated that once you become a customer's personal attendant then you must serve him until he steps out of the building, no matter where he goes, the attendant must follow him and help him buy whatever he wishes, and in some cases, explain to him about the effects of certain mysterious treasures.

...

The attendant left to prepare the pills for Lucy and Arthur, as for Kara, she returned to their side and continued doing her 'job'.

One more reason Arthur wanted to come here is to purchase a Spirit Boat, the highest quality there is!

Simply traveling without a Spirit Boat is way slower, so with their immense fortune, it would be a waste not to buy a good Spirit Boat.

They once saw the speed of Malark's Spirit Boat and it left a strong impression on them.

”Oh come on! It's just the fourth Volume, can't you lower the price a bit more?”

As they were browsing through the displayed treasures, Arthur and co heard someone speak with a rather loud and annoyed tone.

It was actually the Peak Grade young man from earlier who had an old man next to him. He was talking to an attendant while pointing at a yellow book.

The attendant remained calm despite being yelled at, the authority and power of the Treasure Pavillon far exceeded the power of the factions here, the branch in here is just one of many in this Underworld and the headquarters of this powerful force is not even in this world.

”Young master Yun, you are a VIP customer at our Treasure Pavillon and have a 20% discount on anything you purchase, we cannot reduce the price any further, it is the rules.”

The attendant spoke respectfully, but you could sense a hint of contempt in her words. She didn't show it as she maintained an expressionless face, but she actually looked down on people like him. He already had enough money to buy it even without the discount yet this bastard kept nagging about lowering the price.

”Rules or whatnot, I already packed 12 things to buy! 12! So what if you lowered the price a bit more, it's not like you'll lose anything..”

The young master named Yun kept insisting as he acted displeased and was about to burst.

”Hmpf! If it's like that, then I mist as well not buy anything, since the treatment is this bad in here...”

As he said that, Yun looked at the attendant but his face turned ugly when he noticed that she was neither angry nor worried from his words, it's not like no matter what he said, it would still be ineffective.

”Young master Yun, it is up to you if you want to buy from our Treasure Pavillon or not, please lower your voice as you are disturbing other customers.”

The tone of the attendant changed as she reprimanded him and kept her calm attitude, she was not the slightest bit afraid as she knew that if he dared do anything, the higher-ups of the Treasure Pavillon would not stay still.

When she mentioned the other customers, Yun looked around and stared at the 7 other customers with disdain and extreme arrogance, it's like he was looking down on ants, his gaze rested on the scholarly man for a second before he snorted and retorted

”It's just a few bumpkins with little money to spare so they wanted to come here to try to show off, hmpf!”

...

Not far away from young master Yun, Arthur was looking at this youth with a strange glint in his eyes. He didn't like what Yun said neither did he have a good impression of him, but he still remained silent as it was not the time to be provoked by such a useless and arrogant person.

He turned toward Kara and said with a low voice

”That person, who is he?”

Before Kara could reply to Arthur, a calm voice rang out near Arthur's ears.

”He's the Young master of the Peng family from the Monster Race.”

It was the azure clothed man who said that, he walked near Lucy and Arthur and spoke with a friendly tone.

His steps were elegant and there was some mysteriousness in them, with a warm smile displayed on his face, he walked next to the couple.
